Hotel Grand'Italia

At the heart of Padua, on the corner between the Railway Station Square and the main town street in a panoramic position, there stands the Hotel Grand'Italia. It was build in 1909 as Folchi Palace on a project by architect Miozzo, and offers an admirable and innovative example of Art Nouveau. Your eye catches it in an impressive corner perspective animated by terraces, verandas and balconies enriched by flower decorations of wrought iron and gentle stone figures. The scrupulous restoration of the building, fostered by Family Cinel, brought it back to its past splendour fully recovering the style and the rooms of the original project. The elegant hall welcomes you with its elaborate magnificence and immediately reveals the fine style characterising the entire building. Examples of rare beauty are the floor, the terrace in Venetian style, the lacunar decorated with golden friezes, the reception counter made of marble with stylistic elements of the historic Caffé Pedrocchi.
